Expected rainfall projections

Rainy pattern shows signs of slowing down

It was the best of times...it was the worst of times (I came up with that saying.... no really..I did. Ha). Let's talk about the worst of times. This year was very dry leading up to May. We thought the only way we would see any rain during the month of May was to get a bunch of severe weather with it.

But something weird happened. Oklahoma needed a severe weather break. And suddenly it was the best of times. The rain came and had very little tornado threat with it.

Yearly rainfall totals look like this. With about 80% of these numbers falling in the last 30 days.

Sadly, this weather pattern, as mentioned in last week's weather blog, is showing signs of breaking down some. And that means the widespread heavy rain threat may be signing off for a while.

But not with at least 1 last decent rain chance, which looks to arrive later this week. (Thinking Thursday-Friday).

Another .50"-1.5" of rain look possible later this week. After that we head into a dry pattern for about 2 weeks as we go in to the month of July.
